The meta point is poetically spun. > All human life, we may say, consists solely of these two activities: (1) bringing one’s activities into harmony with conscience, or (2) hiding from oneself the indications of conscience in order to be able to continue to live as before. > Some do the first, others the second. To attain the first there is but one means: moral enlightenment — the increase of light in oneself and attention to what it shows. To attain the second — to hide from oneself the indications of conscience — there are two means: one external and the other internal. The external means consists in occupations that divert one’s attention from the indications given by conscience; the internal method consists in darkening conscience itself. Sounds oh so much like a somewhat veiled Teror Management Theory, like the premise TMT starts from. We fear the end of our meaningfulness. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/terror-management-theory https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/terror-management-...
